Some of the best theme park attractions are driven by great storytelling. Since dialog is such an integral part of telling that story, what happens when the audience can only hear half of what is being said? It’s just not going to be an effective attraction, and both the guests and owners will be disappointed. In many of these special venue environments, there are so many
variables to deal with, but most often, the problem is acoustics.
When overseeing theme park design from the ground up, one special opportunity we have is the chance to dive deep into the worlds of renown intellectual properties.
In order to meet the demands and challenges when creating large scale 3D media content at high resolutions, high framerates, and for uniquely shaped surfaces, the Falcon’s Digital Media team is constantly researching, developing, and implementing new software and technology that can optimize their workflow and complement their existing pipeline.
The term “retailtainment” has gained some pretty significant popularity in and around the themed entertainment industry in recent years.
The blank canvas, the black box, the green field, the empty space. What can, at first, feel like endless opportunities and seemingly limitless solutions can be used to define the starting point in the creative process. From master planning an entire theme park and its individual attraction design, the empty space marks the beginning of the creative journey.
Falcon’s will produce a series of Katmandu branded attractions beginning with a dynamic new entertainment venue in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The initial plans include two new attractions from Falcon’s Licensing within Katmandu that will help launch the country’s first-ever theme park.
Ingenuity is something we pride ourselves on and over the years we’ve implemented several tools and techniques in our process of generating 360° dome content, specifically in the areas of pre-visualization, rendering, and color grading.
Storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to put ideas into the world. Computer-generated imagery is one of the many methods used to bring such ideas to life. It’s a medium that’s been around for several decades and is always offering unique ways to be adapted. One such adaptation is that of dome theater experiences which fully immerse audiences into stories using an array of projections on a 360° dome-shaped screen.
The desire for escapism is fueling an explosive growth in the global themed entertainment industry. In my 13 plus year career with Falcon’s Creative Group, I’ve had the pleasure of working in dozens of countries and while 15-hour flights might sound extreme, they offer plenty of time for thought and reflection (after watching all the “new releases,” of course).
